Figure 6. Changes in biomechanical parameters at L3 and the femoral distal end among the four groups.

Figure 6

Biomechanical changes in bone stiffness and bone strength at L3 (A-B) and the femoral distal end (C-D) in SHAM, OVX+NS, OVX+E and OVX+iCR groups at 4-, 8- and 12-week postoperation. Data represents the means ± standard deviation (SD), n = 6 rats in each group. The x-axis represents time after surgery (weeks). Compared with SHAM group, a means p<0.05, b means p<0.01; Compared with OVX+NS group, c means p<0.05, d means p<0.01.
